Latest CMS Directions Impacting E&M & Telehealth Services in 2027

Evaluation and Management (E&M) coding continues to evolve as CMS places greater emphasis on documentation accuracy, medical necessity, payment integrity, and value-based care. Although the official 2027 CPT® updates have not yet been finalized, providers are already seeing significant policy changes that affect documentation, reimbursement, and audit preparedness.

In addition, telehealth remains an essential part of healthcare delivery, requiring providers to stay current with coding guidelines, documentation standards, modifier usage, and compliance requirements. Accurate documentation is critical not only for reimbursement but also for reducing denials and supporting quality reporting.

This webinar will provide a practical overview of the latest CMS direction impacting E&M and Telehealth services. Participants will learn documentation strategies, understand common coding mistakes, review current compliance expectations, and discover best practices that improve coding accuracy while preparing organizations for future regulatory changes.
